Chapter 355: Chapter 332 What Luck Is This?

"I’m not going," Li Chen said without even lifting his head.

"Brother-in-law, what do you mean by this?" Lin Xiaoxiao got angry. You won’t even lift your head and you’re already saying no?

Aunt Wang was busy on the side, watching Lin Xiaoxiao’s angry look, and couldn’t help but laugh. The son-in-law and the second young miss were really interesting.

"By ’not going,’ I mean I’m not going. Is there any other meaning?" Li Chen raised his head.

"No way, I’ve finally finished my exams, and you have to accompany me for some fun," Lin Xiaoxiao said, sitting next to Li Chen and insisting.

"What about your friends?" Li Chen uttered wordlessly, "Wasn’t there a Manman last time?"

"They’re all busy. Unlike you, brother-in-law, who is idle all day long," Lin Xiaoxiao said, "And besides, taking you out for fun is also a way to relieve your boredom. It gives you something to do, so you don’t waste all your time."

Waste all his time? Looking seriously at Lin Xiaoxiao, Li Chen’s gaze made her uncomfortable.

"Brother-in-law, why are you looking at me like that?" Lin Xiaoxiao asked with confusion.

"Xiaoxiao, tell me honestly, do you want to go shopping and no one to carry your bags, so you’re trying to trick me into going?"

"Brother-in-law, am I that kind of person?" Lin Xiaoxiao got angry. "Every time I went shopping, when did I ever trick you? I’ve always let you carry my bags openly and honestly."

Li Chen rolled his eyes. Damn, let someone be the beast of burden and still talk so self-righteously?

"Xiaoxiao, I’ve noticed you’ve become shameless."

"Brother-in-law, I’ve learned from the best. I’m not even one-tenth as shameless as you," Lin Xiaoxiao said with a laugh, then pulled Li Chen’s hand, using her cute charm to her advantage, "Come on, come on, what’s the point of staying inside? Go out and have fun with me."

Li Chen was exasperated. "Alright, alright, I’ll go out with you. Just stop pulling."

Seeing Li Chen agree, Lin Xiaoxiao was overjoyed and then pulled Li Chen off to the shopping mall.

Linchuan has many commercial centers, and Lin Xiaoxiao went to one that was nearby. As soon as they arrived at the pedestrian street, it was bustling with people.

Ask where in Huaxia the most crowded places are, and there are a few spots that are inevitable: the first is the train station, the second is the subway station, and the third is the shopping mall.

These three locations are always crowded with people, especially at significant times, such as the Spring Festival, rush hour, or clearance sales. It would be so packed that it was difficult to even move an inch.

Once they got to the pedestrian street, Lin Xiaoxiao was as excited as if she had been injected with chicken blood.

"Brother-in-law, brother-in-law, this looks delicious," Lin Xiaoxiao said, standing in front of a food stall.

"Brother-in-law, look, that looks fun," Lin Xiaoxiao pointed excitedly at a man on stilts.

"Brother-in-law, I want to take a photo with that inflatable mascot," Lin Xiaoxiao was so happy, and Li Chen could only go along with it. He couldn’t understand why women so easily got into a crazed state when shopping, almost as if they had evolved.

As the two shopped, they soon arrived at the plaza, where the crowd was even more outrageous. There were various performances, but the one that gathered the largest audience was at the stage area, where a lottery scratching event was being held. An emcee was also there, energetically hollering into a microphone.

"Wow, brother-in-law, they have scratch-off lottery tickets! Let’s go!" Lin Xiaoxiao loved a buzz of activity and pulled Li Chen along without a second thought, and facing the throng, Xiaoxiao performed extraordinarily, Li Chen didn’t know how she managed to squeeze them into the very center.

"How much is one of these lottery tickets?" Lin Xiaoxiao asked.

"Beautiful girl, one Money per ticket," the host said with a smile, "This time, as a thank-you to everyone, among these lottery tickets there is one first prize, two second prizes, and three third prizes. The first prize is 500,000 Money! Plus, there are other commemorative prizes!

It’s not much money to buy, but if you win, you could fire your boss and then travel the world with your boyfriend or girlfriend. So, my brothers and sisters, what are you waiting for? Get moving!"

This speech made everyone at the event laugh. The host’s remarks were quite amusing, but he also successfully sparked even more people’s interest.

Lin Xiaoxiao started scratching away earnestly. From the front, Li Chen could see a huge box full of lottery tickets. Finding the first-prize ticket among them was like finding a needle in a haystack, and besides, he didn’t even know which one was the first-prize ticket. Such matters really relied on luck.

Lin Xiaoxiao scratched off the ticket with great anticipation, but immediately looked disappointed with just a "Thank you for participating" message.

"Again."

Lin Xiaoxiao continued scratching, while Li Chen, bored stiff, stood by, watching her. He didn’t participate; 500,000 Money was not even in his sight, and Lin Xiaoxiao was just doing it for fun.

But Lin Xiaoxiao kept scratching; tickets fell continuously at her feet without any win.

"Xiaoxiao, that’s enough. This kind of thing depends on luck. Let’s go," Li Chen said.

"Brother-in-law, I have to win no matter what," Lin Xiaoxiao was frustrated, not even getting a consolation prize. A commemorative gift would have been enough.

People around her were scratching too, but after one batch left, new ones came. Only Lin Xiaoxiao was still persisting.

Some people even found it amusing, "Miss, how many have you scratched so far?"

"Stop scratching, girl. Just have fun. You won’t win no matter how much you scratch," they said.

Lin Xiaoxiao refused to leave, and Li Chen had no choice but to casually buy a lottery ticket himself and start scratching. Unexpectedly, when he saw the result, Li Chen was astonished.

No way?

It shouldn’t be, right?

It’s hardly possible, right?

Since when had I become this lucky?

The lottery ticket in Li Chen’s hand was clearly marked with "First Prize," meaning it was the top prize of this lottery draw.

Li Chen couldn’t believe it and rubbed his eyes again, only to find that the ticket in his hand was indeed a first prize winner.

That is, he had casually bought a lottery ticket, casually scratched it off, and then just as casually discovered he had won a prize.

Life is really amazing. I, who had never even won a drink cap prize before, am experiencing a burst of good luck at this moment.

Li Chen felt somewhat proud, while Lin Xiaoxiao was still struggling with her lottery tickets, always tearing off ones that welcomed her to participate.

"Xiaoxiao, stop tearing. Let me give you a first prize," Li Chen coughed lightly.

Lin Xiaoxiao turned around, glanced at Li Chen and the lottery ticket in his hand, and then huffed and turned back:

"Brother-in-law, stop fooling me. I’ve scratched off so many and haven’t won anything. Could it be that you hit the jackpot with just one scratch?"

And it’s the first prize too, Lin Xiaoxiao thought to herself. There’s only one first prize, how could it be possible?

"Xiaoxiao, this thing depends on luck. Don’t you know that your brother-in-law has always had top-notch luck?" Li Chen chuckled.

"Enough already, brother-in-law. I know all about your luck," Lin Xiaoxiao snorted and continued her struggle with the lottery ticket.

"Xiaoxiao, let’s make a bet. If this ticket is a first prize, you have to warm my bed tonight," Li Chen said.

"Fine," Lin Xiaoxiao said offhandedly. "I don’t believe yours is a first prize."

After that, Lin Xiaoxiao took the lottery ticket from Li Chen’s hand, casually opened it to look, and then her eyes widened.

Those nearby heard what Li Chen had said and were also surprised, directing their gazes over. Could this person have really casually drawn a first prize?

They watched Lin Xiaoxiao, trying to see if the lottery ticket was indeed a first prize winner.

However, Lin Xiaoxiao looked at the ticket and then froze, causing everyone to be puzzled.

At this moment, Lin Xiaoxiao stared at the ticket. The three big characters on it spelling "First Prize" were undeniably real.

Is it really the first prize?

Lin Xiaoxiao could hardly believe it. The room, once very quiet, suddenly burst into excitement as she hugged Li Chen.

"Wow, it really is the first prize. Brother-in-law, you’re amazing!"

Lin Xiaoxiao was uncontrollably excited, jumping up and wrapping herself around Li Chen’s waist, waving the lottery ticket in her hand, "I won the first prize!"

Li Chen, once again buried by a chest without warning, felt the softness pressing against him and the faint fragrance that came with it.

People around were drawn in by the commotion, peering at the lottery ticket in Lin Xiaoxiao’s hand. No way, had the first prize really been drawn?

Lin Xiaoxiao got down from Li Chen, still hopping around excitedly. Li Chen, still coming to terms with the overwhelming sensations, hadn’t gotten his wits about him when Lin Xiaoxiao kissed him on the cheek.

"Brother-in-law, you’re too awesome."

Lin Xiaoxiao was thoroughly excited, and the envying and jealous gazes of those around grew stronger. This guy, what kind of luck was it to win the first prize of 500,000 just like that?

The host also looked slightly surprised. The raffle had been going all morning with no one winning the first prize. Could it be that these two had won it just after they arrived?

The host couldn’t help but chuckle inwardly at the turn of events, what kind of luck indeed?

The surrounding people were also stunned:

"The first prize, that’s 500,000!"

"What incredible fortune."

"Pff, what’s there to show off about? It’ll probably be blown away by the wind in a second."

Onlookers had various thoughts running through their minds. They had been drawing for so long without success, and yet this young girl had snatched the prize away, inevitably feeling a sense of injustice.

Li Chen, on the side, laughingly said, "Xiaoxiao, don’t forget what you’ve promised, tonight... "

"Brother-in-law, what have I promised you? I didn’t agree to anything," Lin Xiaoxiao said, feigning innocence as if she’d really done nothing wrong.

Li Chen almost passed out. He had forgotten that Lin Xiaoxiao had always been like this, with promises never fulfilled. When it came to shamelessness, she was even worse than him.
